Randy Roberson

Randy Roberson (born c. 1964 in Birmingham; died January 11, 2021 in Birmingham) was a driver for ClasTran.

Roberson, who was previously employed by a railroad and and City Paper Co., began working as a ClasTran driver in 2016. IN 2020 he volunteered to drive homeless residents to COVID-19 testing sites and later drove COVID patients to dialysis centers for treatment. While driving he wore a county-issued N95 mask and other protective gear.

Roberson's younger sister Janneen died from the disease on December 20, and his older brother Tommy on December 30. Roberson was admitted to UAB Hospital for treatment of his own COVID symptoms that day, and died nearly two weeks later.
